Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Hardcover. "The Restless Wave is not only a stirring and gripping story of the sea, but also of love and war and leadership. Admiral Stavridis's sweeping knowledge of history and life in the Navy shines on every page, imbuing this work with authenticity and power."-David Grann, #1 NYT bestselling author of Killers of the Flower Moon"In the engaging tradition of Herman Wouk and Patrick O'Brian, Admiral James Stavridis has given us a fascinating novel of one young man's-and one great nation's-war at sea. The book is at once entertaining and illuminating, touching on the most fundamental of human themes with deftness and an appreciation of the immense achievements of the United States Navy in the deadliest of eras." -Jon MeachamFrom the New York Times bestselling former NATO commander comes a riveting historical novel that charts the coming-of-age of a gifted but immature young naval officer as he is tested in the crucible of World War II in the PacificScott Bradley James arrives in Annapolis, Maryland, as a plebe in the class of 1941 without a terribly good idea why he wants to be a naval officer, other than that his father was a sailor, and he wants to see the world, whatever that means. Scott and his roommate become fast friends, and, after surviving scrapes of their own making, the two fetch up at Pearl Harbor. War is brewing, and their class has graduated early. They have been sent to battle stations.Admiral James Stavridis is an acclaimed novelist, a decorated military leader, and a great student of military history. He draws on it all to capture the experience of being storm-tossed by the first bloody years of the Second World War. Scott Bradley James is a talented young officer, but he has a lot to learn. And war will have a lot to teach him.The Restless Wave offers a gripping account of the U.S. Navy's astonishing progress through the first three years of the war in the Pacific, from Pearl Harbor through to the Coral Sea, Midway, and Guadalcanal. A story of character under pressure in the harshest of proving grounds, it is written with careful fidelity to the truths of war that have made tales of the sea essential to the art of storytelling since Odysseus. "The first in a series of historical novels about the 20th century US Navy, centered around an American naval officer and his key relationships, professional and personal, set during WWII"-- Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.…
